In Miketz, (At the end) the story of Joseph begins to come to a crescendo as strange events seem to haunt his brothers. Joseph begins to see partial fulfillment of his dreams as his brothers come to get grain during the famine. As we look closer at the text, we see that the narative actually points to a different kind of famine that will come upon the earth. We also begin to see what must occur before Messiah Ben Joseph makes himself known to his brothers.
